The haul road from the borrow pit to the fill has an adverse grade of 6%. Wheel type hauling units will be used on the job, and it is expected that the haul-road rolling resistance will be 100 lb per ton.  What will be the effective grade for the haul? (Please show all work as best as possible and type out anything that you would like to clearly articulate)

Label this question as Q-UNK on your paper.  6 min. You must show your work as done in class.  Show starting equations and all work.  Use correct sig figs and units.  Circle final answer on paper. C = Carbon = 12.011 g/mol N = Nitrogen = 14.007 g/mol H = Hydrogen = 1.008 g/mol O = Oxygen = 15.999 g/mol An unknown drug compound is found to consist of 57.14% C,  27.21% O, 9.52% N, and 6.16% H by mass. A)  Using the information above, determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound?  You must use the method that was used in lecture to perform this calculation.  Show all your work.  Use correct sig figs and units. B)  Using your answer in Part A and the fact that the molecular weight of the compound was determined to be 589.01 g/mol, find the molecular formula for this unknown.  Again you must show your work as demonstrated in class including starting equations.  Place all final answers here with the appropriate letter and upload your work to the exam dropbox for grading.
